\r\nThe EPFL Sustainable Labs team is pleased to welcome you to its recurring \"Sustainable Labs: Get Involved\" sessions. Held every week, alternating between Tuesdays and Thursdays, these sessions provide an opportunity for laboratories, platforms, centers, and units to receive guidance and support on implementing more sustainable laboratory practices.
\r\n
\r\nThe Sustainable Labs initiative is part of EPFL's Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2030, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 40% compared to 2006/2019 levels and achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
\r\n
\r\n→ Learn more about the EPFL Sustainable Labs initiative.
\r\n
\r\nResearch activities are a key lever for achieving these ambitious goals. However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.
\r\n
\r\nFrom October 8 to December 17, 2026, the Sustainable Labs: Get Involved sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator. This tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.
\r\n
\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n\r\nSessions can be held in English and/ or French depending on the participants. 
\r\n
\r\n→ Please register here. For physical sessions, standing lunch will be provided!
\r\n
\r\nWhether you have questions about the EPFL CO₂ Calculator, need help interpreting your results, or would like advice on implementing more sustainable laboratory practices, our team will be happy to support you and answer your questions!

\r\nThe School of Life Sciences and SV Sustainability are delighted to welcome Florian Breider, Tiffany Abitbol, and Felix Bobbink for the 7th edition of the Sustainable Academy, dedicated to the theme “The Plastic Curse.” 
\r\n
\r\nPlastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, it is now often more difficult to find objects without plastic than with it. While plastic offers many advantages, including its versatility, durability, lightweight nature, and low cost, its production and disposal have significant environmental consequences. Plastic pollution poses major threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health.
\r\n
\r\nResearch activities, particularly in the life sciences, rely heavily on plastic because of its numerous practical benefits. However, despite the challenges associated with managing plastic waste and closing material loops, more sustainable materials and circular solutions are emerging. 
\r\n
\r\nWhether you are a scientist, student, or simply curious about the issue, this seminar will provide valuable insights into plastic use at EPFL, the impacts of plastic pollution on our environment and health, promising alternative materials, and innovative recycling approaches, including a perspective on chemical recycling from Plastogaz. 
\r\n
\r\n Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired! And don't forget to register.
